It was a pretty popular demo/shareware game. I'd be willing to bet the poster/submitter has never played it.
"This process is called development," Allebach said. "Because of variability in printers, the drum does not rotate at a constant speed. If the drum slows down a little bit as it is rotating, you get excessive development, so the print will look a little dark. And where the drum speeds up, you get too little development and the print will look a little bit light."
The resulting bands of light and dark cause imperfections in a text document or an image. Because every printer has its own unique pattern of banding, or intrinsic signature, the imperfections can be exploited to trace a document to the printer on which it was created, Chiu said.
Right. Well, what happens when I buy a new drum, fuser, or toner cartridge, heck, even replace all the internal rollers, and everything changes?
I'm still using a nearly 1 year old setup of Debian. Other than some security updates, I haven't played with it much. Why bother? It's just a pure hassle.
Computer shopper used to have hundreds of pages, and they weren't littl 8-1/2" by 11" pages. This was a BIG book...
HUGE ads. Remember those Viewsonic birds? Full page, in color. 21" monitors for $2000. Pages of RAM, CPU, motherboards, floppy drives, keyboards. Bargains all over. Giant Dell and Gateway Ads, Micron, Midwest Micro.
I would honestly buy a couple back issues if I could find some on eBay. They're like computer time machines. Mine were all thrown out as pages were highlighted, torn out, and became dog eared.
Truly an icon of the PC industry in the early 90's.
Now, with sites like Pricewatch, and everyone and their brother selling PC parts at low cost, they've basically faded into just another junk computer magazine. 60-70 regular size pages. The last one I read covered video cards and 'case mods'. Basically a 'PC World'. The internet killed computer magazines, especially those like Computer Shopper.
So I not only pay for $20 the DVD, but also $24 for a pair of tickets, $8 for parking, and $12 for popcorn & drinks.
Here in suburbia, parking is free. Tickets are $8.50 after 6:00pm. A 'medium' popcorn and drink are $4/5.00
Why buy the DVD? They're $1 to rent at Hollywood Video, you get them for 5 days, and it'll end up being shown on some movie channel on cable for the next 20 years. Besides, you can always eye a copy of it at a friends, and then just 'borrow' it.
But the fact is, people need to put more pressure on webmasters to create standards-compliant websites.(AHEM SLASHDOT) COUGH COUGH/. rendering left side.
This is exactly what he's talking about. Look at the left side of the page:
I bought a refurbished Playstation 2, 3 years ago. It still works. It sits on the carpet, too, and sucks in all kinds of dust. About 1 year before that, I bought a used PSX off eBay, and that still works to this day as well.
Also have a Sony CD player from about 15 years ago, which also still works fine. And, my 1994 Discman still works, it survived being carried around in a bookbag for most of high school as well.

Oddly enough, aren't comics drawn at least 1 month in advance?
Tom's VGA Charts are pretty similar.
Hah. Lets look at this:

Do you need to be on the cutting edge?

NHL 2000 allows 5 people to play each other...
Do the newer versions not allow this?
Kinda strange.

Actually, he was designed for the limitations of the old coin-op Donkey Kong.
Don't complain. What's making this different from 'additional missions' you could buy for a PC game?
This is a good thing. People can release a game engine, and you can just download free or cheap games to play with that engine.
Garage developers can start doing total conversions on Halo etc now.
The FCC regulates it.
Anyone remember back in the days of Doom, 'mousers' versus 'keyboarders'?
Google Groups Thread
Now you'll just see people arguing joystick vs keyboard/mouse
Why not ask here, or here??
Overclock your video card. You get all kinds of neat artifacts on the screen. Or, use a bad video driver.
Right.
Every portable other than the Gameboy failed.
Low battery life, high price. And since they weren't around for long, they never built a library of games.
The Gameboy has always been cheap. Batteries last a while in them.
That reminds me, I've got a big test this Friday and I need to study.
When does the patch and the gum come out?

Plus, if you stop at a party store first, or bring your own beverages from home, you can enjoy an ice cold beer of your choice.
Whooops. Let's try this again:

This is exactly what he's talking about. Look at the left side of the page:
Link
I've seen this in Mozilla under a few different Linux distributions, Windows 2000, and XP.
I found another link, Here
Pentium III 550MHz, pushing 1600x1200, Quake III, 21.2 FPS, Voodoo 3 3500.
I also rememeber everyone talking about Windows running the same game faster/better than under Linux.
1600x1200, 50fps on a K6-2 400MHz? With a 16MB Voodoo3?
I call bullshit.
Link
Here's a K6-400 running Quake 2 @ 1024x768, Voodoo3, ~40fps
I bought a refurbished Playstation 2, 3 years ago. It still works. It sits on the carpet, too, and sucks in all kinds of dust. About 1 year before that, I bought a used PSX off eBay, and that still works to this day as well.

Keep 10 copies of a game on the disc. Bad spot in one? read it from another copy of the game on the same disc.
Or, maybe they'll start using some sort of caddy, much like when CDROM's first became used in PC's.
Or, they'll use some 'space-age' technology where you can't scratch the disks.
How come I can't swim in air?
The only thing you should be clicking on, in a spam message, is the delete icon/key.
